Warlord: King of All Clans

Leo on the main ship was also looking at the aggressive fleet, and next to him was the really tall and strong Strong.

The cannon of the Ten Thousand Man Army on the bow was already aimed at the slowly approaching enemy warship.

The artillerymen responsible for operating the Ten Thousand Cannon are the elite of the artillery regiment, and they can hit whatever they are pointed at within a thousand meters.

However, surface combat is not as stable as land combat. Although the artillerymen had conducted many water combat drills before setting off, Leo still postponed the firing time slightly.

When the enemy army was within 500 meters, Leo waved his hand, and Strong, who had volunteered to be the flag bearer, quickly waved the battle flag in his hand.

With a height of three meters, he stood out from the crowd on the ship. Not only the lookouts on the armed merchant ship next to him, but even the musketeers behind the side of the ship could see him clearly.

One second after his flag fell, three consecutive roars came from three armed merchant ships.

Three cannonballs as big as human heads flew out from the bow of the ship, flying almost straight towards the three warships on the opposite side.

A cannonball hit the warship right below, piercing through the hull, penetrating three cabins, and landing in the rowers' cabin, bouncing around inside.

It was like a steel ball rolling in a bottle full of ants, leaving behind broken limbs and splattered blood along the way.

Amid the sudden burst of screams, the speed of the warship dropped rapidly.

This is an inland sailing and rowing warship, half of which relies on the rowers for its power. Just one solid iron bullet is enough to completely shut down the rowers' cabin.

Another shell pierced the bow of a warship, then flew diagonally, penetrated the stern arrow tower and smashed the supporting structure.

The ten-meter-high arrow tower slowly collapsed with a creepy creaking sound, and the seven or eight longbowmen on it fell into the water with screams.

Another shell hit the hull of a warship near the water level, instantly creating a large hole, and river water rushed in wildly.

Miles was on the warship with its arrow tower destroyed, looking at the sudden attack hundreds of meters away. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back, and the image of the Alchemical Warship of the Free State of the Islands immediately appeared in his mind.

"Impossible! How could an alchemical warship appear in a place like this? Maybe it's a disposable high-level magic cannon!"

An alchemical warship is worth millions of gold, which the poor people in the North simply cannot afford. However, a disposable high-level magic cannon only costs a few hundred gold and is equivalent to a high-level attack spell, so it is possible that it will appear here.

Cursing, he climbed up to the mast and looked around, and saw that the three enemy armed merchant ships were slowly turning around and pointing at them from the side.

The gun port on the side of the armed merchant ship was opened, and the muzzles of three thousand-man cannons protruded out.

At this point, Miles didn’t have time to think about whether the opponent was a disposable weapon, so he leaned over and shouted, “Moses, what’s wrong with you?”

Below him, on the bow, a black-robed wizard was concentrating on casting a spell and had no time to respond to the commander's urging.

When the two sides were within four hundred meters, the calm river surface suddenly surged.

Below the armed merchant ship, the tide rose suddenly and the ship began to shake violently. The captain of the nine-gate army facing the enemy hastily opened fire under this circumstance.

Most of the solid iron bullets flew over the opposing warships, shattering masts and blowing away canvases, but failed to cause serious damage to the warships.

The Count of Beboos's family worships the powerful and high-level water mage Moses.

Moses cast a water spell, shaking the opposing fleet and allowing his own fleet to avoid a round of artillery fire, then he revealed a smile.

The spell has been cast for such a long time, but the opponent has not responded. It seems that the enemy does not have a high-level magician.

In that case, now is his show.

Moses chanted the spell again, gathering his magic power, and waves rose up on the river again, heading straight for Leo's flagship.

The magic power was like an invisible giant hand, manipulating the river water, lifting up Leo's flagship, ready to overturn it.

At this moment, Master Moses suddenly felt something and tilted his head slightly.

A pointed bullet flew past his scalp, and a round hole was drilled in the armor of the armed guard behind him. The low-level extraordinary warrior inside groaned and fell down, covering his chest with blood gushing out.

On the armed merchant ship on the other side of Rio, Bjorn regretfully began to reload his bullets.

The high-level extraordinary people are so powerful that they can easily avoid the sniper attack of Virgil rifle bullets.

The physical strength of a high-level mage is far lower than that of a warrior, which is only at the mid-level extraordinary level. If he does not put up a magic barrier, he will not be able to block the shooting of pointed bullets.

But their spiritual intuition is extraordinary and they have the ability to approach precognition.

However, due to the interference of Bjorn, the spell of Master Moses was interrupted, and the bow of Leo's main ship was raised several meters high and then fell heavily into the water.

Leo breathed a sigh of relief. The high-level wizard on the opposite side was probably only at level seven. If it was the level eight or nine wizards and shamans he had seen in Frovald, perhaps all three armed merchant ships would have been overturned by now.

Leo couldn't help but curse inwardly: "Count Hard and Count Herman are not very strong. The high-level wizards of the Beboos family have all come here. Is the battle in the north easy?"

When they formed the alliance, they exchanged intelligence with each other. Count Beboos had already gone to the north with all the extraordinary combat forces in the territory to deal with the extraordinary combat forces of Count Hermann Freljof's army and Count Hard Beowulf's army.

There was only one high-ranking knight left in the south, Godwin of Arbroath.

I didn't expect that there would suddenly be another high-level water mage.

Leo didn't have time to think about it, and said to Strong: "Where's the sniper? Focus your fire on me!"

Strong quickly turned around to make arrangements. More than a dozen wild hunters appeared on each of the three armed merchant ships, but they all had Virgil II rifles in their hands.

This is a second-generation rifle that was improved after being tested in actual combat by Bjorn. Although it has less power, its range and accuracy are guaranteed.

The only technical limitation of the Virgil rifle was the high-quality rifled barrel.

During this year, the low-level extraordinary mages in the Riverbend Mage Tower and the few senior gunsmiths were able to imitate and manufacture some weakened versions of rifled barrels using alchemy tables or precision lathes. At the cost of sacrificing 30% of the power, they manufactured a batch of rifled guns for Riverbend.

Under the concentrated fire of dozens of Savage hunters - or Savage snipers, the high-level wizard could no longer cast high-level spells. He could only hold up a magic shield and finally hide in the cabin.

After a brief confrontation, the two sides were close to each other, about two hundred meters away.

The steam sailing ship behind the armed merchant ship towed the cement barge to the shore and quickly disconnected and came to provide support.

But because they were too hasty, they were still several hundred meters away from Leo's armed merchant ship.

The three armed merchant ships were immediately surrounded by more than ten warships.

Each warship has an arrow tower and a ship's tower, which is seven or eight meters taller than Rio's armed merchant ships, allowing them to shoot from a high vantage point.

Especially the three multi-masted warships in the lead, compared with the armed merchant ships, it was like the strong men from the North bullying the little dog-headed people.

At this time, there was no need for Leo to give any more orders. The artillery captains on each merchant ship directly ordered: "Switch to grapeshot!"
